Question
Differentiate the following functions with respect to x:
$\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}+\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1}$

Answer

Let $\text{y}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}+\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1}$
Also, let $\text{u}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\text{ and v}=\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1}$
$\therefore\ \text{y}=\text{u}+\text{v}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}+\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}\ .....(\text{i})$
$\text{u}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \log\text{u}=\log(\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}})$
$\Rightarrow\log\text{u}=\text{x}\cos\text{x}\log\text{x}$
Diffrerentiating both sides with respect to x, we obtain
$\frac{1}{\text{u}}\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\text{x}).\cos\text{x}\log\text{x}+\text{x}.\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\cos\text{x}).\log\text{x}+\text{x}\cos\text{x}.\frac{\text{d}}{\text{dx}}(\log\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\text{u}\Big[1.\cos\text{x}.\log\text{x}+\text{x}.(-\sin\text{x})\log\text{x}+\text{x}\cos\text{x}.\frac{1}{\text{x}}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}(\cos\text{x}\log\text{x}-\text{x}\sin\text{x}\log\text{x}+\cos\text{x})$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{du}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\big[\cos\text{x}(1+\cos\text{x})-\text{x}\sin\text{x}\log\text{x}\big]\ .....(\text{ii})$
$\text{v}=\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1}$
$\Rightarrow\log\text{v}=\log(\text{x}^2+1)-\log(\text{x}^2-1)$
Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we obtain
$\frac{1}{\text{v}}\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{2\text{x}}{\text{x}^2+1}-\frac{2\text{x}}{\text{x}^2-1}$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\text{v}\Big[\frac{2\text{x}(\text{x}^2-1)-2\text{x}(\text{x}^2+1)}{(\text{x}^2+1)(\text{x}^2-1)}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{\text{x}^2+1}{\text{x}^2-1}\times\Big[\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2+1)(\text{x}^2-1)}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{dv}}{\text{dx}}=\frac{-4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2-1)^2}\ .....(\text{iii})$
From (1), (2) and (3), we obtain
$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=\text{x}^{\text{x}\cos\text{x}}\big[\cos\text{x}(1+\log\text{x})-\text{x}\sin\text{x}\log\text{x}\big]-\frac{4\text{x}}{(\text{x}^2-1)^2}$

The prices of three commodities $P, Q$ and $R$ are Rs. $x, y$ and $z$ per unit respectively. A purchases $4$ units of $R$ and sells $3$ units of $P$ and $5$ units of $Q$. $B$ purchases 3 units of $Q$ and sells $2$ units of $P$ and $1$ unit of $R$. $C$ purchases $1$ unit of $P$ and sells $4$ units of $Q$ and 6 units of R. In the process $A, B$ and $C$ earn $Rs. 6000, Rs. 5000$ and $Rs. 13000$ respectively. If selling the units is positive earning and buying the units is negative earnings, find the price per unit of three commodities by using matrix method.
A manufacturer considers that men and women workers are equally efficient and so he pays them at the same rate. He has 30 and 17 units of workers (male and female) and capital respectively, which he uses to produce two types of goods A and B. To produce one unit of A, 2 workers and 3 units of capital are required while 3 workers and 1 unit of capital is required to produce one unit of B. If A and B are priced at Rs. 100 and Rs. 120 per unit respectively, how should he use his resources to maximise the total revenue? Form the above as an LPP and solve graphically. Do you agree with this view of the manufacturer that men and women workers are equally efficient and so should be paid at the same rate?
